In a palace of gold The king sat high (oo-yeah!) But the throne got cold With no alibi (uh-huh, uh-huh) Blinded by power With a heavy sigh (mmm!) The silence came Like a dark lullaby Fast cars Big dreams In the royal beams (woo!) Lost it all Fell apart at the seams (uh-huh) Glances turned away No one's on his team (oh no!) The quiet's loud Ain't what it seems (oo-yeah!) Nobody cry when the king did fall (nuh-uh, nuh-uh) Deafening silence Echo in the hall (mmm, hmm) Once he ruled Now he’s small (woah-oh) In the shadows He begins to crawl (oo-yeah!) Whispers in the wind Ain't no friend (shh!) Echoes of a reign Now at its end (oo-yeah, oo-yeah!) Crowns and jewels Can't pretend (nuh-uh) When you fall Nobody will defend (mmm!) Lost the crown But found no ground (uh-huh) In the deepest silence He’s always bound (woah-oh) The kingdom’s hush is the only sound (yeah!) He fell from the top Now he's earthbound (mmm!) Nobody cry when the king did fall (uh-huh, uh-huh) Deafening silence Echo in the hall (oo-yeah!) Once he roared Now he’s small (ha-ha) In the shadows See him crawl (woah-oh, woah-oh!)
